Activities at Lawton Manor Care Home
Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life.
We understand that the people we support have passions and interests that could be difficult to pursue after moving into a care home – but that doesn’t mean we don’t encourage them to try! Some hobbies can define a person, so our Activities Coordinators are dedicated to ensuring that everyone we support is able to do what makes them happy to the best of their abilities. Social events are organised with individual tastes in mind and with the idea that residents have the opportunity to try new and exciting things.
Chloe Cameron
This is Chloe and she is our Activities Coordinator here at Lawton Manor. Her job is to physically and mentally stimulate our residents by offering a range of activities for them to enjoy. She wants to get everyone involved and make our home community and atmosphere as positive and welcoming as possible.
Making sure that our residents have things to do that they really enjoy doing is something that Chloe holds very close to her heart. It is so important to make sure that they are happy and enjoy all of the activities and events that we host for them. A lot of our residents also enjoy our special trips out on our Minibus as we create new, special memories together.
Activities and Events Partnerships
As part of our bespoke life-enrichment programmes, we host a number of live virtual events in the home on a regular basis through a number of partnerships with places of interest and world class performance companies
Life at Lawton Manor Care Home

Wishing Jackie a very happy retirement and all the best for the future.
The Elf returns!
We’ve had a surprise guest today at Lawton Manor! Joey the elf has joined our Staff and Residents to have some fun and cause some mischief!
Make sure to check our page to see what Joey will be up too.
Visits from Rosie the Dog
Our new resident Pauline got a lovely visit this week from her husband and her little dog, Rosie. Pauline and Rosie had a great time seeing each other, so much so that Rosie decided to take a small tour and visit our other residents for pets and cuddles! As you can see, everyone was over the moon to have the chance to see Rosie and spend the afternoon with her.
Poppy Appeal Station
Next week we'll be honouring Remembrance Day with our residents, team, and local community. In the meantime, we'd love to raise as much money as possible for the Royal British Legion's Poppy Appeal. As we all do every year, we were poppies to remember those who fought in battle, whilst simultaneously raising money for the Poppy Appeal and the wonderful work that they do supporting veterans.
One of our wonderful residents, Ivor, set up our Poppy Appeal station in our reception with some of his memorabilia from his time serving in the war. If you don't yet have a poppy and are thinking of getting one, please pop along and get yours and take a look through some of Ivor's memories.
Halloween Party
Here at Lawton Manor, we got into the spooky Halloween spirit of things by creating painted, decorated and carved pumpkins.
We then hosted a fun-filled party in the afternoon with delicious Halloween inspired treats, mocktails and themed music from our wonderful entertainment!
Some of our residents preferred to dress up for the occasion, others got involved in themed quizzes and games, and enjoyed watching Halloween films.
We all had a spooktacular time!
Spooky Sweet Treats
Ahead of all of our Halloween celebrations coming up, we decided to get into the spirit early with some biscuit decorating!
A simple activity but still so enjoyable, what better than to ice some biscuits with spooky faces for everyone to enjoy?! Some of our lovely ladies got together in our Squirrel's Den Cafe and put their best artistic skills to the test by creating these yummy gingerbread pumpkins. They all said how much they loved it as it reminded them of how they used to mark these occasions years ago. Some even use to bake their own biscuits to decorate!
We think they look great! Let us know what you'd ice onto your biscuits.
